What is this video about?

In a candid conversation, Ed Cohen speaks on the vision of Satyam Learning World and how the team contributes in shaping leaders for tomorrow. Satyam Computers has been in the news since December 16th 2008 for all the wrong reasons and what happened since then was an unpleasant history, not only for the company and its esteemed employees, but also for India Inc. in general. However, what no one quite understands are the painstaking efforts of Ed Cohen and his dedicated team in dissuading and alleviating the employee concerns falling out of the governance fiasco. What the employees went through in those days was even more painful. Listen to Ed Cohen for understanding the 24/6 efforts put in by him and his team to bring serenity and sensibility to the entire organization. Also listen to the employees who have been through with those trauma times − how they received the news, how they responded and how they solaced each other.
